# TIFFstrip(3t)

strip-related utility routines

## NAME

TIFFDefaultStripSize, TIFFStripSize, TIFFVStripSize, TIFFComputeStrip, TIFFNumberOfStrips - strip-related utility routines

## SYNOPSIS

```
#include <tiffio.h>
uint32 TIFFDefaultStripSize(TIFF* tif, uint32 estimate)
tsize_t TIFFStripSize(TIFF* tif)
tsize_t TIFFVStripSize(TIFF* tif, uint32 nrows)
tstrip_t TIFFComputeStrip(TIFF* tif, uint32 row, tsample_t sample)
tstrip_t TIFFNumberOfStrips(TIFF* tif)
```

## DESCRIPTION

*TIFFDefaultStripSize* returns the number of rows for a reasonable-sized strip according to the current settings of the *ImageWidth*, *BitsPerSample*, *SamplesPerPixel*, tags and any compression-specific requirements. If the *estimate* parameter, if non-zero, then it is taken as an estimate of the desired strip size and adjusted according to any compression-specific requirements. The value returned by this function is typically used to define the *RowsPerStrip* tag. In lieu of any unusual requirements *TIFFDefaultStripSize* tries to create strips that have approximately 8 kilobytes of uncompressed data.

*TIFFStripSize* returns the equivalent size for a strip of data as it would be returned in a call to *TIFFReadEncodedStrip* or as it would be expected in a call to *TIFFWriteEncodedStrip*.

*TIFFVStripSize* returns the number of bytes in a strip with *nrows* rows of data.

*TIFFComputeStrip* returns the strip that contains the specified coordinates. A valid strip is always returned; out-of-range coordinate values are clamped to the bounds of the image. The *row* parameter is always used in calculating a strip. The *sample* parameter is used only if data are organized in separate planes (*PlanarConfiguration*=2).

*TIFFNumberOfStrips* returns the number of strips in the image.

## DIAGNOSTICS

None.
